• If you prefer a lighter version, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.
• To make it a complete meal, serve the linguine with a side salad or garlic bread.

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the linguine in a skillet with a splash of water or cream to maintain its creamy texture.
• Serve the linguine as a main course for a special dinner or as a decadent side dish for a seafood feast.
